All students have email accounts established when they register for one or
more classes at the University of the District of Columbia. This email
account will be used by faculty to contact students enrolled in their classes
and for college staff to inform students of important announcements. Student
email accounts are Web-based and can be accessed from any computer with an
Internet connection.
The format of the email address is firstname.lastname@udc.edu. Occasionally,
we have students sharing the same username. When this happens, the username

firstname.lastname3. The username portion of the email address can be used to
access Blackboard and Wireless connections.
Once issued, email accounts must be activated by the student. For detailed
instructions on how to retrieve and activate your student email and access your
account, please visit my.udc.edu.
To access the email, please visit www.udc.edu/mail. The username is firstname.

A student may officially withdraw from a class without penalty prior to the
date posted in the current academic calendar. When such a withdrawal is
processed officially and filed with the Office of the Registrar, a grade of “W”
will be entered on the student’s transcript. If the student stops attending
class or fails to file the Request Drop Form on time, a failing grade may be
given. All students applying for or receiving any form of financial aid must
report any withdrawals to the ­Financial Aid Office as their current or future
eligibility may be affected. Withdrawal forms are available in the Office of
the Registrar (Administration Building, A level).
TOTAL WITHDRAWAL PROCEDURES
Students wanting to effect a total withdrawal (withdrawing from all classes
for which they are enrolled) from the University up to and including the last
day of class (prior to the beginning of the final e­ xamination period) must do
so by submitting the Total Withdrawal Form to the Office of the Registrar
(Administration Building, A level).
Withdrawals do not affect the cumulative GPA but will affect academic
suspension/dismissal. All students applying for or receiving any form of

deans.
APPLICATION FOR GRADUATION
Students who expect to complete their academic degree requirements during
the current semester should submit an Application for Graduation to the
­Office of the Registrar on or before the deadline indicated in the academic
calendar and pay the required $125 commencement fee in the cashier’s office.
However, the submission of an application does not guarantee graduation.
Only those students who have met “all” academic requirements and who have
satisfied “all” financial obligations will be cleared for graduation. In the event
that a student does not complete graduation requirements in the d
­ esignated
term, a new Application for Graduation must be submitted for the term
when all requirements have been met; no additional fee is required. ­Students
are strongly encouraged to meet with their academic advisor each semester
to ensure that academic requirements are being met for the degree objective
pursued and that they are on target for graduation.
FINANCIAL AID
You are able to check your financial aid status online via www.udc.edu/register.
You must have your User ID number and PIN (birthday—two-digit month,
day and year) in order to access your account.
PAYING FOR CLASSES
You are able to pay for your classes online. Once you have completed your
registration for classes, there will be a “Pay Online” button, which will direct
you to the secured payment site. (If an ID and password are requested, please
use your Banner ID and password to log into the payment site.) No need to

are eligible for financial aid and funds have not posted, report to the Office
of Financial Aid.
ACADEMIC GOOD STANDING FOR
ALL FINANCIAL AID APPLICANTS & RECIPIENTS
1. Students Who Have Applied for and/or Received Aid
Students who have applied for financial aid but have not received a
­response for a valid Student Aid Report (SAR) should come to the
­Financial Aid Office to check their status. Failure to do so will cause your
classes to be dropped for nonpayment if you have not made other arrangements with Student Accounts to pay your bill. All students who
have received an award letter should review their bill to make sure that
the financial aid on the financial statement agrees with the amount on the
SCHEDULE OF CLASSES — SPRING 2014
award letter. After registration, notify your financial aid counselor of any
discrepancies. If you have your award letter, you do not need to contact
the Financial Aid Office during the registration period.
2. Satisfactory Academic Classes
All undergraduate and graduate students who apply for financial aid will
have their academic standards evaluated in accordance with the SAP policy, which is viewable and can be printed from the Financial Aid UDC
website. Copies of the policy are available in the Financial Aid Office.
Students who fail to meet the minimum standards could be in jeopardy
of losing their financial aid.
3. Policy for Withdrawal and Unofficial Withdrawals
If you totally withdraw from school, the law states that the amount of
Federal Student Aid Assistance you have “earned” up to the point of
withdrawal must be determined by a specific formula. If you received
more assistance than you earned, the excess funds must be returned. An
unofficial withdrawal is when you stop attending classes and do not complete the Withdrawal Form in the registrar’s office located in Building
39, Room 135. The amount of assistance you have earned is ­determined
on a pro-rata basis. That is, if you completed 30 percent of the payment
period or five weeks of classes, you earned 30 percent of the assistance you
were originally scheduled to receive. The unearned portion must be repaid by the student. If you do not repay these funds to the University, you
will be barred from the next registration period. Students who complete
at least 60 percent of the payment period or 10 weeks of the semester
earned the amount of the financial aid award. For additional information
on this policy, please call 202.274.5060 or come to the Financial Aid Office in Building 39, Room A 111.
4. Nonattendance
Any student who has unofficially withdrawn* from the University and is
a recipient of federal financial aid will be placed in overpayment status for
the financial aid received. If a student stops attending class, the student
must contact the registrar’s office to officially withdraw and notify the
Financial Aid Office.
*Student who registers for classes but does not attend
REFUND AND RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS
PURPOSE: The purpose of this instructional notice is to state the
University’s institutional policies and procedures, as well as the Federal guidelines, pertaining to the refund and return of Title IV funds.
Pursuant to Section 485 of the Higher Education Amendments of 1998 (P.L.105-244)
Section 484B of the HEA of 1965, amended _ Statute enacted ­October
7, 1998 _ NPRM PUBLISHED August 6, 1999 _ Final Regulations
published November 1, 1999
BACKGROUND: The federal guidelines for Title IV funds require that if a
student withdraws or is expelled from the University that he may be required
to return all or a portion of the federal Title IV funds awarded to him. If a
recipient of Title IV aid (Pell grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity
grant, D. C. Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership Program (formerly SSIG), National Direct Student Loan, Family Educational Loan Subsidized
and Unsubsidized) withdraws during a payment period (i.e., a period of enrollment), the University must calculate the amount of Title IV aid the student
earned. Unearned Title IV funds must be returned to the Title IV programs.
PROCEDURES: Official Withdrawal Process
Students wanting to effect a total withdrawal (withdrawing from all classes
for which they are enrolled) from the University up to and including the last
day of class (prior to the beginning of the final examination period) must do
so by submitting the Total Withdrawal Form to the Office of the University
Registrar (Building 39, Room A-135).
DETERMINING THE WITHDRAWAL DATE: The withdrawal date
is defined as the date that the Total Withdrawal Form is submitted to the
Office of the Registrar or online. The University does not assess a total
withdrawal fee.
A STUDENT WHO TOTALLY WITHDRAWS FROM THE
UNIVERSITY MUST APPLY FOR READMISSION TO
THE UNIVERSITY.
University’s Responsibility to Return Title IV Funds and Order of Return
RETURN POLICY: After notification by a student of his or her withdrawal
from the University, the Office of Financial Aid has:
45 days to return Title IV funds
45 days to notify a student of grant overpayment requirements
45 days to notify a student of eligibility for post withdrawal disbursement
90 days to send post-withdrawal disbursement to a student and/or parent
The University assesses tuition, fees and books as allowable institutional
charges in the calculation of the return of Title IV funds.
A student who totally withdraws from the University and receives a refund
check may be in an overpayment status.
Order of Return Policy:
The University returns the lesser of unearned Title IV Aid or The
University charges for the period times the percentage of Title IV aid that was
unearned. The University must return Title IV funds to the programs from
which the student received aid in the following order, up to the net amount
disbursed from each source:
Unsubsidized Family Educational Loan
Subsidized Family Educational Loan
Perkins loan
PLUS loan
Federal Pell grant
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity grant
Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership Program
(ACG/SMART grants) formerly SSIG
Other assistance under Title IV
Students’ responsibility to return Title IV funds: The student must return
funds to the Title IV fund from which they were received. The student must
return the net amount disbursed from each funding source. A student is
­required to repay 50 percent of the grant assistance he or she received.
The student (or parent, if a federal PLUS loan) returns funds to the loan
programs in accordance with the terms of the loan and to grant programs as
an overpayment. In other words, the student will be repaying any unearned
loan funds in the same manner that he or she will be repaying earned loan
funds. Grant overpayments are subject to a repayment arrangement satisfactory to the University or overpayment collection procedures prescribed by
the secretary of the Department of Education.
NOTE: The student automatically retains eligibility for Title IV assistance
for 45 days after the University sends the notification of a grant overpayment
and request for repayment arrangements to the student.
Procedures for collection of payment to student: The student will be notified in writing within 30 days of the date of the University’s determination
that the student withdrew and a grant overpayment is due. The following
repayment options are available:
A) Pay in full within 45 days.
B) Establish repayment arrangements with the University.
C) Establish repayment arrangements with the Department of Education.
If the student defaults in the repayment agreement, the University will report
within 30 days to the Department of Education and National Student Loan
Data System (NSLDS) that the student is in overpayment status.
Students requesting additional information should contact the Office of Financial Aid, Building 39, Room A 111, or call 202.274.5060.
